Power Faith Image - Philippine Art in Ivory from the 16th Century
With the nearly universal association of whiteness with notions of purity and goodness, it is not surprising that the use of ivory in the Philippines is similarly charged with multiple significations of supernatural, economic, and temporal potency. The symbolic power of whiteness effectively enhances and engenders faith in supernatural power. Fain in power, power in faith – twin notions eloquently distilled in almost four hundred images together for the first time in this magnificent exhibition catalogue.
